In not really talking about possible, I am more talking real world running pressure.
I’m sure you can air up a car tire but at 90 psi it would be so rock hard that travel on it would be extremely uncomfortable. Also you would risk blowing it out whenever you went over a big enough bump. The tire volume inside would deform and cause a massive pressure spike.
Tractor trailer tires are made with more layers of rubber and steel belting so they can safely handle higher pressures.
Right, you would likely pop a tire on your friendly neighborhood pothole. Even if you were lucky and avoided all of that, the tires will bulge in the center, drastically reducing the contact patch with the ground and you’d have probably 15-35% traction compared to proper inflation.
Yeah you can definitely do it with car tires for a short time at least, that’s how you check for leaks (overpressure to like 80 psi and put it in a tub of water, look for the bubbles)
Not in a car… But 10 or 12 ply truck/tractor/trailer tires can run around 90 psi
I just looked it up. It seems that normal car tires will explode at 115 - 145 psi.

It’s errer@lemmy.worlds life - let him waste it how he wants! /s
Your tire shop is the kind that would inflate a split rim tractor tire without a tire cage.
